Role: Front-end Engineer (React) · Duration: December 2022 – February 2023 · Stack: React, Redux Toolkit, Material UI, Map APIs
Última Milla is a last-mile delivery web application for customers in Ecuador. Built on React, Material UI and Redux Toolkit, it offers real-time tracking of delivery requests on an interactive map.
Key contributions:
- Integrated SEO best practices — semantic markup, meta tags and content optimisation — to grow organic reach and increase the application’s user base.
- Profiled the React application and removed performance bottlenecks: optimised render cycles, normalised Redux state, and reduced unnecessary network calls — resulting in a noticeably smoother experience for end users.
- Diagnosed and resolved a backlog of UI and integration bugs, hardening reliability across the delivery flow.
- Worked closely with the backend team to align API contracts and ensure consistent state between client and server.
The end result was a faster, more discoverable and more reliable delivery experience for customers across Ecuador.
